Tahoe-Truckee Snow Day Policy

Day Classes

Sierra College day classes begin between the hours of 9 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Please check our campus web page for notices about closure. The Tahoe-Truckee main phone number is 530-550-2225.

Evening Classes

The status of Sierra College evening classes is determined by 4:00 p.m. Check our campus web page or call the Tahoe-Truckee main phone number, 530-550-2225.

General “rule of thumb” for campus closure is two or more highways leading into the basin under R2 conditions (chains or 4WD w/ snow tires). In particular, snow days are determined by the status of Highway 89 from Tahoe City to Truckee, Highway 267 from Kings Beach to Truckee, and I-80 from Reno to Truckee. Road status is checked at 4:00 p.m.
